Top Gear
Anyone else think this BBC show is *the* best car show ever? I think it is superb. As there are no ad revenues needed (BBC), they tell it like (they think) it is. It is also very entertaining.
On BBC World at various times during the week (Rogers Digital Ch. 114).
Honda SiR today doing 129 mph and a TVR Tuscanetta (sp) doing over 170 mph! Last week a drag between the new Lambo and Pagini Zonda (the Zonda owned the Lambo). The Zonda is 800 Gs CDN!!!
The show is so well funded, it even has its own test track, race course, and studio. A magazine, too.

There was a show like that on Speedvision back in the day...I forget what it was called, but they had their own test track, and they used to beat up on all these high $$$ cars. It was sweet!! The drivers were awesome too...they could throw a S500 benz around like it was a little Skoda. You guys must have seen it...the intro had a lot of clips, one of which was the Saab stunt drivers doing simultaneous side by side J turns.

'What channel/time is this show on? I've never heard of it..'
If you are talking about the Speedvision show, I have not seen it either.
Is Speedvision worth a subscription? I like F1, Rally, and Cart. And anything to do with Imports...

Thanks Audiophilia.
As to the Speedvision. There's a show on Tuesday from 4-4.30 or 4.30-5 (can't remember) about imports. Show isn't too great, doesn't seem the hosts/people on the show know much about cars and whatnot. I can't remember what the show is called, but if i find out, i'll post again.
